Top 5 football stadiums based on seating capacity

Stadiums are more than a venue to see sports. Real fans show their passion in a football stadium. The atmosphere during an intense match is like a battle between two sides.

Stadiums play an important role in the history of sports and they have evolved with the times. Club management seek the help of engineers to create some of the best masterpieces.

In football, they carry action, emotion, drama and passion with them. The spectators are happy here, they dance and cheer on the stadium chairs, but when depressed their frustration is released on the same stadium chairs.

Most football stadiums outside Europe play many roles including hosting other sports. But when it comes to football its true purpose emerges. Here are 5 of the largest stadiums in the world of football:
